I would be interested in getting gcc for 386/486 PCs running MSDOS (djgpp ??).
Is there a site where it can be supped from ?
If not what would the procedure for receiving it ?
Thanks in advance,
Andre'.

The FSF now distributes GCC for msdos on floppies.
The price is $80 prepaid (in the US) for source plus executables.
See below for details.
Ordering from the FSF helps support work on the GNU project as well as
getting you a copy. Since the recession began, we have not had any
large donations; most of our funds have always come from orders like
this.
For those in Europe, we have a distributor in Germany who may be able
to supply floppies. (This distributor does make source tapes; I'm not
sure about floppies.) Write to g...@prep.ai.mit.edu for more
information.
The actual order form follows the descriptions of media contents
Contents of CD-ROM, Deluxe Distribution, and Each Tape on the FSF Order Form
****************************************************************************
PRICE AND CONTENTS MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE AFTER June 30, 1993.
GNU Source Code CD-ROM
This CD-ROM contains sources to the distribution of the GNU Project including:
Emacs, GCC, G++, GDB, Bison, GAS, Make, GAWK, Texinfo, the GNU Utilities, RCS
and CVS, f2c, gnuplot, Ghostscript, tar, diff, and BASH, as well as the MIT X
Window System, and MIT Scheme.
The CD-ROM also contains some packages ported to Intel 80386 and 80486-based
machines running MS-DOS: Demacs, DJGPP, and MIT Scheme 7.2. In addition, it
contains Mtools, which is a public domain collection of programs to allow Unix
systems to read, write, and manipulate files on an MS-DOS file system
(typically a diskette).
The CD is in ISO 9660 format and can be mounted as a read-only file system on
most operating systems. You can build most of this software without needing
to copy the sources off the CD. It requires only enough free disk space for
the object files and the intermediate build targets. Except for several of
the MS-DOS packages, there are no precompiled programs on this CD. You will
need a C compiler (programs which need some other interpreter or compiler
normally provide the C source for a bootstrapping program).
Deluxe Distribution
The Deluxe Distribution Package includes executables and source for all GNU
software in a choice of formats, as well as a printed copy of each of GNU
manuals and an ISO 9660 CD-ROM that contains sources of GNU software.
You may choose one of the following machines and operating systems: HP 9000
series 200, 300, 700, or 800 (4.3 BSD or HPUX); RS/6000 (AIX); Sony NEWS 68k
(4.3 BSD or NewsOS 4); Sun 3, 4, or SPARC (SunOS 4 or Solaris). If your
machine or system is not listed, or if a specific program has not been ported
to that machine, please call the FSF office.
We will supply the software on one of the following media in Unix tar format:
1600 or 6250 bpi, 1/2 inch, reel to reel tape; Sun DC300XLP 1/4 inch
cartridge, QIC-24; HP 16 track DC600HC 1/4 inch cartridge; IBM RS/6000 1/4
inch cartridge, QIC-150; and Exabyte 8mm tape. If your computer cannot read
any of these, please call us.
The manuals included are one each of the Bison, Calc, Gawk, GNU C Compiler,
GNU Debugger, Flex, GNU Emacs Lisp Reference, Make, Texinfo, and Termcap
manuals; six copies of the GNU Emacs manual; and a packet of reference cards
